Since most of the comparisons between young and elderly people while walking have been carried out at different "self-selected" speeds, results might be biased by a lack of control of the effects of both the concomitant issues. Therefore, further investigations aimed at separating the influence of both the sources of variability are required.Clinical BiomechanicsJournal Articles10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2009.04.004
